Police to target drinks drivers with summers enforcements

"As the national summer drink drive campaign launches today, Cheshire Police will be supporting with a series of anti-drink and drug driving initiatives to both raise public awareness and provide locally driven enforcement activity.

The intelligence led operation, which will be driven by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), will focus on drivers aged under 30, but also daytime drinkers who may drive to 'alcohol fuelled' events and take the risk of driving home.

Although drink driving enforcement is an all year around activity for Cheshire Police, road safety messages will be delivered through targeted enforcements involving roadside breath tests and field impairment tests.

ACPO's enforcement campaign will target well-intentioned drivers who do not think they are breaking the law but who may be over the legal limit by the time they get into their cars to drive home. Those found to be over the limit will face prosecution, which can lead to a jail sentence."

This type of campaigns are very necessary to avoid accidents killing innocent persons.

Police from Cheshire do breath tests checking the alchool in blood and also if drugs substancies are taken. This is very good to young people and also adullt ones to avoid accidents. Drivers must be more concious of the danger that represents to drive drunk or  whith less reflexes, it can kills an innocent person and themselves too. For this reason if they are caught having drunk they can be brougt to the jail. Here in Spain is a little bit the same but instead of going to jail they have to stop the car waiting for hours untill the alchool levels in blood are normal, and also the driver loses points of his driving licence and can be ran out of circulation for months.

I think these controls are a very good acction from the police to keep ourselves safe. So people who must drive have in perfect conditions to drive a vehicle. In a group of young people going out they can agree that the driver being a different one every time but the most important thing: choosing a non drinking driver to go home.
